"There was no consistency whatsoever," he said. "We’ve got work to do on the offensive side of the ball. Whatever is going on, we’ve got to solve it and we’ve got to solve it fast. We don’t have much time. We’ve only got a couple practice days this week and then another game."

That includes what he saw from Manning and Nicks. Here's reaction from both Coughlin and the wide receiver post-game.

Coughlin on whether Manning and Nicks are on the same page: "I don’t know. We had a chance with them. I chose to go for it, which means I’m putting confidence in them. It’s third and goal from the two-yard line. We run for nothing and then we throw a fade ball, which normally we’re pretty good at. We catch the ball and we get the ball knocked out of our hands. We’ve got work to do. That’s all I can tell you."

Nicks: “I think when the time comes, we’re going to be going to be just where we need to be,” Nicks said. “It’s better it happens now then when the season starts because when Dallas rolls around, it’s going to be for real.”
